  1. Ralf Rangnick | ex-interim manager | does anyone rate him?

    I think he will bring in changes after assessing the current crop for a few weeks. Till then, no point in speculating if the backroom staff stays or not.....shape up or ship out hopefully is the motto
  2. Grealish To City? | City bid £100M

    Looks like I ruffled a few feathers who started questioning my loyalties, Citeh forum etc etc. Just saying that as a United fan, I would like to see the best players playing for our team, winning glory and accolades along the way. I simply hate the fact that we have not won anything significant...
  3. N'Golo Kante (appreciation thread)

    An absolute powerhouse who epitomises "Been there, dont that" a winner all the way no matter which club or which manager he plays for....non controversial (think Pogba) and stays under the radar, would strengthen us a million times over if we could get him, but alas...
  4. Grealish To City? | City bid £100M

    And why will Grealish want to join the second best team in the league with a HISTORY but no signficant honours for almost 10 years over a club that can guarantee him a big one (PL or CL) every year over the next few years, its a no- brainer, who amongst us would want to join a club that has...
  5. 5 years without a trophy - Further away than ever

    Honestly, with Ole our new upper level is Top 4 and maybe, just maybe a Europa where we pray we dont get a Spanish B grade side like a Sevilla or a Villareal or heck, even Sociedad. FA Cup and League Cup is out of the question, since we will have to face top rival PL clubs at some point in time...
  6. No.1 for next season - De Gea or Henderson?

    In the early years, his physical presence or the lack of it, did lead to instances where he was outjumped or outmuscled by rival players. I guess once he worked on his physique, his reflexes which are his biggest asset were amplified. Distribution, I feel, is more of an issue now where the GK...
  7. No.1 for next season - De Gea or Henderson?

    De Gea anyday, I think a proper kick up the rump side should get his form back, because quality- wise there is a huge gulf between the two. His most obvious weakness which has been exposed for a few seasons now is his 'commanding the box' and protecting set- pieces, one of which can be solved to...
  8. Where's the FLAW? System or Coaching?

    I believe it is a bit of both. While Ole's coaching credentials are questionable, his support staff also does not really inspire awe especially as ex- players or with some solid experience/ badges behind them. Having said that, on the pitch it is the players who need to perform, whether it is...
  9. City’s Title Run

    City will lose to Leicester...so Newcastle for me
  10. Anthony Martial | 2020/21 Performances

    Martial is just NOT good enough for a club of our stature, but then neither is the manager.....so its a crockpool all over
  11. Ole and beyond - A modest critique of long term squad compatibility problems

    Will Ole and the "coaching staff" do it, that is the question
  12. Eat your words here

    Will prove doubters right: Maguire Martial Rashford Pogba Ole Proved wrong: DDG Shaw AWB Bailly Bruno Fred
  13. Christopher Smalling - Tribute for the man with the big chest and high voice

    Thank you for your service, Mike Smalling......good move to Italy for your career
  14. Thank you Ed Woodward

    Ed Woodward has ensured that his KRA's are always met or exceeded- save money for the Glazers, get new commercial contracts, keep the fans guessing, show up in camouflage on the caf at times
  15. Di Marzio: United looking for a new striker

    This probably would be too much for Woody- Judge to fathom
